The BIG! Arbor Day/Interpretive Center celebration is tomorrow. The weather forecast doesn�t sound bad at all so, by all appearances, this could shape up to be a pretty darn good day and a lot of fun to boot!
For those not familiar with the area and because we really want you to come, some directions and helpful parking solutions: Exit I-94 westbound at 49th- 53rd Avenue North (next exit after Dowling Avenue North). The park is directly to the east between the freeway and the river. You will see the Interpretive Center peeking above the sound barrier as you exit. The Arbor Day festivities will take place one block north of the exit at the picnic shelter. The picnic shelter parking will be reserved for Xcel water trucks and official vehicles assisting with the day�s events but there is limited parking along the frontage road of the park if you proceed to 53rd Avenue and turn right to the frontage road. We have also arranged for folks to park at Jenny Lind School in the large lot at 50th and Dupont Avenue North. Exiting the freeway ramp, turn left on 49th Avenue North (west) to Dupont Avenue where you will turn right (north) to the school parking lot. Shuttles are provided to the park or, if you like, you can walk. Street parking is available depending on how quickly it fills up but please be mindful of parking restrictions and do not use the Lyndale businesses lots to park for the day�s activities. Our northeast friends can always access the Camden Bridge to cross the river, turn right (north) on Lyndale Avenue to 49th Avenue and either cross the freeway to the park and try for frontage road parking or turn left for street or school parking per the previous instructions. Please also note that parking in the Interpretive Center�s lot will be reserved for handicap vehicles, dignitaries and for the various organizations to unload and set up their displays for the afternoon�s activities. A couple additional notes: As a fellow dog lover and responsible pet owner, I respectfully ask those of you bringing your four-legged family member to observe the city ordinance by keeping your dog leashed and plan to clean up after them. Check in when you arrive for the planting so you can receive you official Arbor Day button and lunch for all your hard work. Thanks everyone and have a great time!!!
